More pictures of the Holiday Dinner and program yesterday.
What do you get when you plan a holiday dinner and program for 165 community members and students? You get a lot of staff and students working together to make sure everyone has an enjoyable time. Thank you, Margo, for taking the lead role and directing the planning, prep and presentation of this event. Thank you to Nellis Trucking for donating the potatoes, and Shaun, Alex, & Josh of the Culinary Essentials Class for making ornaments. The Freshmen Leadership Class worked with Kindergarten students to decorate the ornaments and make necklaces that were given to all the guests. Our Journalism class took photos of guests with Santa (played by Shayden) and his elf (Myles) in front of a backdrop made by Heidi. The choir and second grade class sang multiple songs. Lots of others were involved in the background and we want to say THANKS to EVERYONE for your help!
Staff Christmas Party this week. We appreciate the important work our staff does throughout the year. Thank you to our Valley Falls Chamber and PTO for providing Chamber Bucks for some of our door prizes.

Dragon Basketball Fans:
As we approach the upcoming basketball season, I wanted to take a minute to update you on some exciting things happening here at the high school. We as a school have signed up to be a pilot school with KSHSAA for the shot clock. Thanks to our Valley Falls Rec Commision, we have new shot clocks installed in the West Gym and they will be used during all Varsity Girls and Boys games. With that being said, I wanted to take a minute to ask that we please be patient as this is new and there will be mistakes made. Please remember that this is a learning process and everyone is trying their best. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Stacy Cervantez at stacy.cervantez@vfalls338.com.
Thank You and Go Dragons!!
